At Archway Funeral Service, we understand how overwhelming it can feel when someone you love passes away. During such an emotional time, knowing what to expect can offer some comfort and reassurance. We are here to guide you every step of the way, caring for both you and your loved one with compassion, dignity, and respect.
When a Death Occurs
The first steps will depend on where your loved one has passed away.
If the death occurs at home, a doctor or healthcare professional will need to be contacted to confirm the death. If it takes place in a hospital or care home, the staff there will support you with the initial procedures and advise you on what to do next.
At any point, you can contact us. Our team is available 24 hours a day, ready to respond promptly and begin supporting you.
Bringing Your Loved One into Our Care
Once we have been contacted, we will arrange to bring your loved one into our care. This is carried out with the utmost dignity and professionalism at all times.
Your loved one will be taken to our private facilities, where they will remain in a მშვიდ, respectful environment until the day of the funeral. We treat everyone entrusted to us as if they were part of our own family.
Our Standard of Care
While your loved one is with us, we ensure they are cared for with the highest level of respect. This includes gentle preparation, such as washing and dressing, according to your wishes.
If you would like to spend time with your loved one, we can arrange a private visit in a calm and comfortable setting. We understand how important these moments can be, and we will ensure you have the time and space you need.
We also take great care to honour any cultural, religious, or personal preferences throughout.
Registering the Death
In the days following, the death will need to be registered. We will guide you through this process, explaining what is required and helping you understand each step.
Should you have any questions or concerns, we are always here to provide clear, supportive advice.
Arranging the Funeral
When you feel ready, we will meet with you to arrange the funeral. This is a personal and important part of saying goodbye, and we will take the time to listen carefully to your wishes.
Whether you prefer a traditional service or something more bespoke, we will help you create a meaningful tribute that reflects your loved one’s life.
From music and readings to transport and floral arrangements, we will guide you through every detail with care and sensitivity.
Support Beyond the Funeral
Our role does not end on the day of the funeral. We understand that grief continues, and we remain here for you in the weeks and months that follow.
If you need guidance, reassurance, or simply someone to talk to, you can always reach out to us.

From the first call to the final farewell and beyond, we are here to provide steady, compassionate guidance—ensuring your loved one is cared for with the dignity they deserve, and that you feel supported every step of the way.
